"wide bars looked cool"

Fuck, did I miss a trend. I still think they look stupid. But I'm not buying them for looks, I want leverage, motherfuckers. ;)

His formula has me on 790-800mm bars.

Did he say you needed wrist crumbling 35mm dia bars as well?

I think its all bollocks tbh. I am quite happy with my 710 - 740mm bars. Mountain bikes have totally hooked the continuous next big thing need over the last 10 years.
